Thank you and yes, I have the same CPU and am pretty sure CPUZ ran OK on it last time I tried it. Can you boot NT/2K/XP on that system? If you can it would be interesting to see what Menu->Hardware->CPUID->CPU-0 reports, below is what I get on my CPU. I'll load up XP on it and try that out shortly. …

The Win98 version of CPU-Z causes a blue screen on my Asus TXP4 socket 7 machine. I'll hook it up tonight and post more details then.

FINALLY. The replacement X1950 came today and it's a gigantic upgrade from the FX cards. Thank you candle_86 for suggesting ATI! My XP oldies rig is much better now. I'll probably get some pics and benchmarks done over the next few days as I'm stuck at home for now.

Well the TUV4X has arrived and I finally have a reliable Tualatin machine for the first time in many years. One interesting quirk I've noticed with this board though is if I disable the onboard audio in the bios 98se stops booting. Turn it back on and everything is fine. Who knows why, updated the …

TUV4X owner here. In my case, I have been able to overclock my system up to 155MHz in BIOS. Anything higher would cause the keyboard to stop working, so in order to circumvent that, I push the FSB higher with SetFSB in Windows. Make sure your RAM can tolerate the overclock. I have six ECC sticks …

So I ordered a CUBX on ebay for $99 Canadian. Shortly after clicking buy it now I got a message from the seller saying for some reason it would take 6-8 days for payment to clear from paypal which was too long for him. So he cancelled the order, of course a couple of days later Paypal takes the $99 …

Are all caps ok? I am in no way an expert, but the power draw at 1,5 instead of 1,75 might stress the rail more than it would like. The PL-Neo/T is, imho, like the Lin Lin adapter, just telling the MB how much Vcore it wants, and making sure the necessary bridges are connected to have the Tualatin …

Which Powerleap adapter are you using? Is the CUV4X able to provide the correct voltage if the Powerleap is not actively regulating the voltage itself? PL-Neo/T is the model. In the bios it's reporting 1.5V. Everything is fine at 100mhz fsb on Tualatin processors but at 133mhz the keyboard stops …

This machine has been such a pain in the butt. Well I finally got around to taking some pics today, after lots of testing I've reached the conclusion that the combo of this motherboard and powerleap adaptor will NOT run at 133mhz fsb. P3 1.0 (133fsb) runs fine at 133mhz and 100mhz (no powerleap) P3 …
